abstract = {The combination of s-type superconductors with
three-dimensional topological insulators creates apromising
platform for fault-tolerant topological quantum circuits
based on Majorana braiding. Thebackbone of the braiding
mechanism is a three-terminal Josephson junction. To
implement this concept,a deeper understanding of the
underlying mechanisms in topological insulator nanoribbon
networksequipped with superconducting electrodes is
required. The samples for our experiments are fabricatedby a
combination of selective area growth of the topological
insulator and shadow mask evaporation ofthe superconductor.
As a first step, we investigate nanoribbon kinks and
T-junctions of the topologicalinsulator [1,2]. In kink
structures, a π-periodic change of the conductance is
observed as a function ofthe angle of an in-plane magnetic
field. We attribute this phenomenon to an orbital effect
leading to analignment or misalignment of the phase-coherent
states on the lower and upper surfaces of the kinkbranches
depending on the magnetic field orientation. The
experimental results are supported by atheoretical analysis
based on a surface Rashba-Dirac model and tight-binding
simulations. As a nextstep, the transport properties of
topological insulator-based three-terminal Josephson
junctions aremapped and the cross-coupling of the junctions
is analyzed. Under the application of an
out-of-planemagnetic field, a multi-terminal geometry
induced diode effect is observed.start here. Only one
